ACSM.NET - The American Surveyor

The American Surveyor (www.theamericansurveyor.com), an award-winning magazine published by Cheves Media LLC is a one-of-a kind magazine created by surveyors for surveyors. Its mission is to inform, educate, entertain, and inspire professionals in the surveying industry and non-industry folks as well. More than twenty-five nationally known and respected licensed surveyors have come together to build this publication. Drawing from forty years’ of experience in all aspects of land surveying - from field to management, and technical support to journalism - owner, editor and licensed surveyor Marc Cheves brings information to the readers that they simply won’t find anyplace else. Cover to cover and issue to issue the contributing editors highlight topical news and information, technology breakthroughs, product reviews, business advice, industry trends, controversial issues, and more.

In 2004, the first year of its publication, The American Surveyor won a prestigious Ozzie award for "Best Design, New Magazine" from Folio Magazine. Criteria for judging included "first impressions, personality, uniqueness and design structure."
